hyrcanuswell for a little while02:18

hyrcanusi wonder how many people became serial killers because of defective USB cables03:01
hyrcanusi have to throw out somany03:02
hyrcanusi'm the greta thunberg of usb cables: HOW Daewe you!03:03
adhocphone charge cables are a nightmare03:13
hyrcanusi have slightly better lifespans now that i really only pull out by the handle03:17
hyrcanusbut some usb hubs pack them too close to do that easily03:17
hyrcanusalso i would like to find a micro-usb cable connector that doesn't protrude but gives me a flat cable to wrap around to the hub on back of device03:19
hyrcanusit might be worth taking shrink-tubing to the ends of my cables05:27
adhocthere is also a silicon putty that is soft and pliable that sets firm butter rubbery05:40
adhocI found that and thin walled heat shrink works well for cables that get a lot of movement05:41
hyrcanuswell it would need to not flex when pulled05:41
hyrcanusrubber would05:41
hyrcanusthe cable inside is what breaks, and it must be spared the force of the pull05:41
hyrcanusso whatever you pull on cannot transmit the pull force to the cable inside05:42
adhocoh, good point05:57
adhocdifferent application05:57
hyrcanussince i retrained myself to never pull on the cables, i've had less dead soldiers06:21
hyrcanushardware h265 encoding on amlogic a311D would be nice09:13
hyrcanus1.5 fps encoding sucks09:13
